A huge thank you to Gwen and Patuni for all their hard work throughout what was a particularly difficult and complicated sale. They handled every challenge professionally and kept us informed throughout and were always responsive when we needed guidance or reassurance. We felt we could trust their advice completely and their persistence was a huge part of getting the sale over the line. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Brilliant team.

Mandy

We recently completed the sale of a property where Parfitt Creswell (Windsor) acted for our buyers. What should have been a straightforward transaction took nine months to complete. In our experience, much of the delay appeared to be due to poor communication and a lack of responsiveness from Parfitt Cresswell. All parties involved spent considerable time chasing updates, often receiving no response for weeks at a time. I would not normally leave a review for a company I had not personally instructed, but the level of communication throughout this transaction was so poor that I felt it was important to share my experience. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Parfitt Creswell.

A representative from Parfitt Cresswell Limited responded to this review

Dear Mandy, Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate that property transactions can be stressful and that different parties involved may have differing views of the process. As solicitors, our professional duty is to act in the best interests of our client and in accordance with their instructions. As you were not our client in this matter, it would not be appropriate for us to comment on the specific circumstances referred to in your review. We can, however, confirm that throughout the transaction we remained committed to providing professional advice and representation in accordance with our client's legal interests and instructions. We acted proactively throughout, progressing all matters within our control promptly and diligently while working towards the best possible outcome for our client. Best wishes, Client Services Team – Parfitt Cresswell Solicitors
